Impresses in first day of camp Montas' velocity stood out during his bullpen session in the Athletics' first day of summer camp Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Impact Montas had posted a video to social media in late May that showed him ringing up triple digits on the radar gun, and he demonstrated that wasn't any fluke in Saturday's session. Catcher Sean Murphy vouched for Montas' velocity, noting how sore his hand was after catching the right-hander. Montas had tuned up for what was expected to be a prominent 2020 role with 5.2 scoreless innings in Cactus League play, and he'll now have a chance to prep against his teammates in summer camp for the shortened regular season.
